There's a lot to discuss this week. On Monday we have the second public hearing on the proposed FY19 budget and the associated tax increase, as well as a hearing on my proposed ordinance that would prohibit the sale of single-use polystyrene foam (think foam takeout containers and cups). We also have a One Annapolis meeting on Wednesday that I will give you information about.

May is proving to be a busy month. This Monday will be your first opportunity to testify on the proposed tax increase and the City’s FY19 budget. I’ll give you more information about this and on a new ordinance I’ve introduced along with County Councilman Trumbauer to ban single-use foam in the City and County.

I want to give a big “thank you” to everyone who came out to my first Ward 7 Town Hall meeting. We had a great turnout and a very lively discussion. I feel so fortunate to be representing such wonderful people. The next Town Hall is scheduled for Wednesday, July 25th from 6-8pm at the Eastport-Annapolis Neck Community Library.

I hope everyone is having a pleasant March. I have a number of important updates, including information on my first Ward 7 Town Hall meeting, a public hearing Monday on an ordinance seeking to address school overcrowding, and more. Please reach out if you have any questions about anything.

I hope you are enjoying the unseasonably warm weather these past few days. My family and I had an outing yesterday when we attended the Annapolis march for women's rights. Beautiful weather for such an important gathering.
